Don't you love farce?My fault I fear.I thought that you'd want what I want.Sorry, my dear.But where are the clowns?Quick, send in the clowns.Don't bother, they're here.

So, here we are. Illinois lawmakers get to decide on impeachment…the legal community gets to debate whether this appointment can be blocked...the Senate gets to kick off 2009 with multiple shit-storms swirling about…and Blago gets his last laugh/major fuck you moment in the sun.

Isn't it rich?Isn't it queer?

In many ways, 2008 was a year through which we wrestled with racial issues long neglected…and may saw Obama’s election as the end of our long national nightmare.

Losing my timing this lateIn my career?

But we are so not post-racial, people.

And where are the clowns?

This move, though self-serving beyond belief, is a fine example of that.

And I can’t help but see this as the political move equivalent of a defeated general tossing plague ridden corpses over castle walls after a failed siege while yelling “Happy Fucking New Year, bitches!”

There ought to be clowns…

And some of y’all were worried that a bitch wouldn’t have anything to bitch about (wink).

Until Rush got into the act, I had no idea that Burris was black. I am a body who doesn't follow Chicago politics closely. I was going to object to any Blagovich pick mainly because Blago is now at the position where politicians start throwing F-U bombs at their own party, and Blago would pick someone who owes a favor to him.

I'm not at all surprised that Blago the Hair Clown went ahead and made an appointment. He purports to be an innocent man, he's going to proceed as if everything were normal. He's using Burris as a demonstration of his proclaimed innocence...I only don't et why Burris accepted. Does anyone htink he has a real chabce of being seated?
